Just came back to let you know after rating near 200 entries, this one was my favorite. It’s so catchy and original as well. I even listen to it while driving, it's amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing this! PD: my new favorite is “A Training Song To Train To”… that melody!!

Description
Hello! This soundtrack is an amalgamation of different styles and inspirations from other platformers I've played over the years.
The genres I would give it are Synth. Hip-hop, Chiptune, and some R&B thrown in there.
Each track is a love letter to tropes and styles from older and newer games.
Track 0 is just your standard file select screen
Track 1 is the first level overworld theme that most games. It's super light and easy to get into
Track 2 is the obligatory desert level that follows, except it blends the Egyptian trope with a Western twist
Track 3 is so Christmas coded, it's not even funny.
Track 4 is that Jungle level that has the huge tree in the middle.
Track 5 is the training stage really.
Track 6 is the shop theme. (fun fact: This was inspired by the options menu from Mario Party)
Track 7 is a message of triumphant noise that fills hearts with content and fascination. Please listen to it when you have accomplished a daring task!
This project was all done in Logic Pro! The compositions for each of these have a healthy mix of default instruments, and some sampled instruments from my Casio keyboard. Each track is not looped for style purposes and length, but I plan to post looped ones later because I personally like looped tracks. Each track is roughly 2-3mins
Thank you for reading all of this!
Message from the artist
I love that this Jam gives me and so many others to part-take in a dream that so many others have. Video game music is something a lot of people grow up with, and it can make a huge impact on a person.
Personally, video game music affected me and my style so much, that I want to give back that affection someday. My hope during this Jam (or in the future) is that someone listens to one of my tracks and goes, "That was really cool, where's the 30 min version!" And I hope that people in this Jam get that feeling too!
Theme
Inside my world
How does it fit the theme?
The MC gets caught in a trap that looks to be these levels that are based off of Video games in general. The trapper is this illusion-maker ghost. The Idea is that each track is supposed to be made up of tropes in a world that isn't real, conjured by the specter.
